US crude prices climb again as China loosens COVID restrictions

China Covid Protests Updates: Biden Recently Spoke With Xi Jinping About Covid

 

China’s policies over COVID-19 sent U.S. crude oil prices up again in Tuesday’s trading. A loosening of the country’s strict controls as well as weakness in the U.S. dollar were behind the rising level of trading.

West Texas Intermediate crude for January delivery rose 96 cents or 1.2% to finish the day at $78.20 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Global benchmark Brent crude went the other direction, falling 16 cents or 0.2%, settling at $83.03 on ICE Futures Europe.

January natural gas rose 4 cents to $7.24 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Oklahoma energy stocks saw a rebound in prices Tuesday with Mammoth Energy performing with a nearly 8% gain. Helmerich & Payne went up 4%.
